Backtesting issue

[tradejockey]

It appears that I can select heiken-ashi as type and seconds/min as usual in backtest and it is providing some wonderful results to my script. Only problem is that these seem fictitious.. entry times and exit times in some cases are exactly same but they show different entry vs exit prices.

Can someone take a look at this? I checked the table and the entry price mentioned for backtest trades dont match at all for the entry time.. probably has something to do with heikenashi and the way it works.. not sure realistic though.

Forget about Heiken-Ashi - you cannot use that for real entries/exits - it's a smoothed way to paint candles.

Thats fine.. I just dont think it should be available under backtesting in that case..

All chart types are available for backtesting. Whether there is value in doing so is up to the user.

I think he doesn't understand what Heiken-Ashi represents - not your fault.
